"I wish white Christian Conservatives had the same passion for migrant children, school shooting victims, sick toddlers, young black men, Muslim families, LGBTQ teens, the environment, and women's autonomy over their bodies that they claim to have for embryos."

The Beautiful Mess by John Pavlovitz · It's Too Bad the Pro-Life Right is So Violently Anti-LifeBy John Pavlovitz

I’m used to do this thing where I edited news stories to take out the guns. So, for example, “Man Killed in Road Rage incident” becomes “Man Punched in Road Rage Incident”.

I would cut out the article and mark it up with red pen to demonstrate what could have been in a more sane timeline.

It was an enormously sad but somehow therapeutic project. Have often thought of a series of browser extensions to make similar points.

Amanda Marcotte on #guns, violence against women, & #MelGibson: "Recently, Vice President JD Vance complained, "our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge." He pretended that it's about telling men they can't "tell a joke," when the real problem is men punching women in the face and sexually assaulting them in department store dressing rooms."

ABC 13: Man accidentally shot self in foot while attempting to kill cockroach

3/9/25

"DETROIT (WKRC) - A man accidentally shot himself in the foot while trying to kill a cockroach in an unlucky and unfortunate series of events.

Police said that the victim, a 50-year-old man who uses a wheelchair, was attempting to kill a cockroach with his shoe.

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot."

Meet hero ordinary (and obviously unarmed) passenger #BarryClark, who, along with the plane’s captain and an attendant, just stopped a maniac who had a shotgun who got onto the tarmac and made his way up to the door of a plane.

Just two weeks after the Trump administration designated six Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, Mexico will come to the Supreme Court on Tuesday in its effort to hold U.S. gun makers liable for cartel violence committed with U.S.-made weapons...#Mexico..#USA..#guns..

I guess thoughts and prayers will have to do. 🤦‍♂️ 🙄

None of those woke "Gun Free" zones for us here in Wyoming by gosh.

Don't tell me that you're "pro-life", and anti-vaccine. Don't tell me that you're "pro-life", and anti-gun legislation. Those things are mutually exclusive – you can't be both. What sense does it make to bring a child into the world, only for them to die from an easily-preventable disease, or in a hail of bullets in a place they should feel safe, their school? Why is an unborn life worth more than the life child? #prolife #guns #abortionrights #abortionIsHealthcare #gunControl
